"Let this be a lesson to anyone who is bored with current build but doesn't want or cannot afford to buy a whole new setup"

This isn't a full new build in one go, but I decided to gradually upgrade parts of my current setup and from what I have changed so far you can see it has made a massive difference:

New Equipment

NZXT S340 Elite White Tempered Glass Case
NZXT HUE+ White LED Kit
Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors x2
IKEA Alex Drawers
IKEA Linnmon Table Top
IKEA Adils Table Leg
IKEA Signum Cable Tray Management
Samsung Wireless Fast Charge stand

(Also installed the two fans from my Thermaltake A31 into the front of the S340 until I get RGB AER ones)


Just goes to show the difference a few new components can make to your setup. Feels like a completely new build.

But of course I will be upgrading more, next on the list is:

- New monitor
- New GPU
- Longer Studio Monitor cables so I can remove the remaining ones shown under the desk


Comments appreciated :)
 
Love it... I have the source 340 case, such an easy case to work with and looks great... yours looks brilliant!!

Cheers,

Yeah I was shocked how easy that case was with cable management. Every time you needed a slot or a strap to work with there was one there. Only one niggle which could help others is be sure to fit your HDD cables before the PSU. Once you slide the PSU in with all the cables in the shroud you can't get into plug the HDD in easily.
 
The whole setup looks nice and clean, I love the lighting affects they set it off a treat. Definitely looking at a new desk now after seeing this ;)
 
Cheers..

Yeah its a 19". Going to order a new 1080p 23-27" haven't decided.

New 2TB hdd and longer speaker cables comes today then I can start working on extra bits and bobs that needs done.
